Countdown to Onederland!

Ok people, As of this AM I am 9 lbs from Onederland. I am having a hard time with the fact that I still have those stupid 9lbs and absolutely can't wait to cross that corridor. I have lost rather quickly this month as some of you know due to illness, however the antibiotics and my appetite have kicked in full force and I am really having a freak out here. So let's all say a prayer and throw a coin in a fountain on my behalf and get me through this next major hurdle. I think I can calm down once I am there. It did not help having my surgeon tell me I would never reach my goal weight! I was so mad at him. He said most people NEVER achieve their goal weight. Well I am stubborn and want to go back to him next year at goal!! Thanks for the love guys and wish me luck. Wendy

Go, Wendy Go!!! Run to the border! You can do it! It's sooo within your grasp! I know that I was absolutely obsessed with getting to Onederland, so I know exactly how important this is to you! I'm rooting for you and am going to do a huge happy for you. I'm saving you a seat... you can do it! I'm with ya, my stubborness is what has gotten me this far! It's great to put that, ummmm, characteristic to good use! Your surgeon is going to eat his words! Hugs, Kerri

Thank you Kerri, I remember when you were trying so hard!! I was just thinking about that yesterday in fact. It feels like it is so close yet so far away all at the same time!! Your right though, I am stubborn and will get to goal. Wendy

Hi Wendy!!! YOU are getting to ONEderland, each and every day my friend!!! When it happens, you'll be surprised and speechless..... I'm saying a prayer right now and am throwing a coin in a special magical fountain in your honor! Forget about what your surgeon said. You will make your goal; he's not the one going through this.. How arrogant is he?? I hear you about the appetite thing. I got that way when I was feeling better after my hernia surgery. I want to eat all the bad things. I look at it and I'm like Homer Simpson with the drooling mouth! God Bless and Love you too! Hugs, Lucy 484.8/383.4/166.5/160 pre surg/surg day/current/goal

LOL!! Thanks Lucy, it is so nice to know I am not alone in this! You guys are great. Wendy

I know you can do it!! In fact, I'm counting on you to do it! Keep up the good work and fighting spirit. You are strong! Diane

*cha-ching* you got my coin in the fountain...and you've got my prayers. You can do it girl!!! Ohhhhh telling me I CAN'T do something is a surefire way to make me prove that statement WRONG!! I'm here to testify - there are plenty who surpass their doctor's goals and MEET their own goals. You can do ANYTHING you set your mind to. Oh Wendy, go stand in front of that bathroom mirror....muster up some Attitude...and look right into that mirror as if you were talking to your doctor and say out loud "You jus****CH me!!" *snap* Luck Faith BELIEVE Pam

Thanks for the encouragement Pam. I don't like to be told what I can and cannot do either! I am so determined to be at or under goal by the time I see him again. Wendy

Wendy, I hear your pain. Even with my surgery this month I can't seem to get to onderland. I'm holding at 206ish. Somedays as low as 203 and others as high as 207. I feel like I'll never reach 199. My goal is 180 and that seems so damn far away. I know we'll do it if we can just keep pushing on. School started today so it should be easier to get in to a good eating and exercise routine. Here's hoping we'll both see onederland soon! Chip

Glad to hear from you Chip! My goal is 185 and I am right at 206 now. Driving me crazy!!!!!!!! Too slow. Almost makes me wish for my H. pylori back LOL!! We can do it though. I know we can and then we should party like no tomorrow!! Wendy
